No. If she hits 0.280 next year, then she's a 0.280 hitter for next year.

Which is what the entire discussion is about. If we were talking economics I'd be telling you that was a sunk cost fallacy. Instead it's just a red herring fallacy. Her prior stats have absolutely no bearing on her value for next year. It's pretty simple. ** Edited by King of Hokies at 5/19/2025, 12:22:09 AM

Next Year's Offense May Take a Hit
VAHokie89 • 05/18/25 08:46 PM ET
Legette 1B, Chatfield RF is what we may see
hokiepro • 05/18/25 11:10 PM ET
I thought the same about Legette and Chatfield, but I think we lost a lot
vatechcowpatty • 05/19/25 05:29 AM ET
Yeah. Hard to know if Legette looked a little more shaky
hokiepro • 05/19/25 05:55 AM ET
I think between Rohs, Blackwell, and Castine, one of them has to learn to
vatechcowpatty • 05/18/25 09:58 PM ET
Agreed. however, Castine's good hitting was a small sample size
VAHokie89 • 05/18/25 10:03 PM ET
Well, pulled because Martin hit better. There was a stretch when I couldnt
vatechcowpatty • 05/18/25 10:12 PM ET
Blackwell had a couple nice hits in her limited ABs later in season
hokiepro • 05/18/25 11:15 PM ET
Agree with your post so far as pitching is concerned. The off-season and

Well Casteen may go back to SS and Jones to 2B. Rohs offense is limited **
Hokiedanville • 05/18/25 09:16 PM ET
Isn’t Rachel a senior?**
ColWilliamFleming • 05/18/25 10:19 PM ET
Yes, but she’s coming back.
RJHokie • 05/18/25 10:21 PM ET
Rohs needs to stay at SS unless someone beats her out.
Hokie_Forester • 05/18/25 09:36 PM ET
Her "pretty decent" hitting early in the season was when numbers
VAHokie89 • 05/18/25 09:52 PM ET
Having an elite fielding SS is more valuable
hokiepro • 05/20/25 08:24 PM ET
Agree. I hope her hitting gets much better.
RJHokie • 05/18/25 09:39 PM ET
She would have hit .280 the rest of her career just to be a .250 hitter
VAHokie89 • 05/18/25 09:54 PM ET
Not worried about career stats as opposed to what she can accomplish
RJHokie • 05/18/25 10:00 PM ET
Rohs defense is much better than Castine’s at SS.
RJHokie • 05/18/25 09:21 PM ET
Not SO much better
VAHokie89 • 05/18/25 09:55 PM ET
I happen to think Rohs's SS defense IS MUCH better than Castine's. I think
133976Hokie • 05/18/25 10:27 PM ET
Playrs close to even in fielding need to be separated by their hitting. T
ancient alien 2018 • 05/18/25 09:42 PM ET
Agree.
RJHokie • 05/18/25 09:44 PM ET
Is her hitting plateaued or can she improve?**
ancient alien 2018 • 05/18/25 09:46 PM ET
I think she can improve.
RJHokie • 05/18/25 09:49 PM ET
Right now after two seasons, she is essentially a .220 hitter
VAHokie89 • 05/18/25 09:57 PM ET
It's faulty logic to talk about what next year will be, then use a possible
King of Hokies • 05/18/25 10:34 PM ET
My logic was that Rohs, for example, would have to hit
VAHokie89 • 05/19/25 12:11 AM ET
No. If she hits 0.280 next year, then she's a 0.280 hitter for next year. ◄
King of Hokies • 05/19/25 12:21 AM ET
Hopefully we can hold onto Aldridge. Worried she may go elsewhere if Zoe
Hokie_Forester • 05/18/25 08:49 PM ET
This is my main worry about who we’d unexpectedly lose. Why stay when
vatechcowpatty • 05/18/25 09:48 PM ET
Aldridge is darn near the top of must keep IMO.... Lynch and Chatfield are
RRHokie90 • 05/18/25 09:12 PM ET
The Aldridge and LeGette situations will have to be addressed
RJHokie • 05/18/25 08:56 PM ET
For sure. And if the SS, Gabby, turn out to be a as good as advertised,
nkhooch • 05/19/25 02:29 AM ET
The Portal could make who plays where a moot point. Hope it does not, but
ancient alien 2018 • 05/18/25 09:39 PM ET
Thats the hard part of having a lot of good players. Keeping them all happy**
Hokie_Forester • 05/18/25 09:09 PM ET
Unless you want great players instead.. See the thread below about
VAHokie89 • 05/18/25 09:58 PM ET
Oh yea but until we throw the money at the elite players we need to keep
